South Korea's defense industry plans AI-enabled technology for aircraft control, easing pilot workload. Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and the Research Institute of Defence aim for an operational AI system by November 2028, supporting various platforms. The focus includes a Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) system linking helicopters and unmanned air vehicles, with studies for a similar setup involving FA-50 light-attack aircraft. The move responds to North Korea's military advancements, enhancing South Korea's ability to develop combat systems. FA-50, vital for close air support, aims to possess loyal wingmen for significant force-on-force contact.
